CD-R Playback Problem
 

Hi All,

I've recorded an audio CD from the songs on my hard disk - all in Windows media file (highest quality) format. The CD will play back fine on my PC and on my home stereo CD player, but won't play back properly on my car CD player. It sounds like it's skipping bits of the track!

Any suggestions on what I need to do to solve this? Any suggestion appreciated - with the nice weather I need a good soundtrack to accompany my manic driving! ;)

Thanks.

Hi WH,
I had a similar problem a while back. Only thing I could track it down to was the combination of the laser power in my in-car CD player and the lower reflectivity of CD-Rs. I.e. my car CD-player's laser was not as powerful as my home & PC players and the blue tint of CD-Rs can make them more difficult to read. Usually only a problem for older players, maybe worth trying one of those specialist lens cleaning CDs - I know some folks do not recommend them but I have found them to help.

Good Luck

Thanks for the prompt reply LL :)

I'll give it a try.

If cleaning doesn't work, then try another brand of CD-R as well.
